Description & Information

Dauber boxes are the most efficient method to store fingertip daubers. Without storage too many get lost or wasted. The Sponge Dauber Storage Box is a Scrapbook.com best-seller and is regarded as a must-own scrapbooking product. Each box holds forty daubers and the box's hinged lid with fail-safe sliding locks keeps contents secure. Includes one box that measures approximately 7.5" x 4.75" x 1.5".

Many scrapbookers own two or more and just add more boxes as their ink pad and chalk palette collections expand. The boxes store great and look good.

The boxes are large enough to store your daubers comfortably, yet small enough to carry to crops without drama - it's impossible for the box to open by accident because of the fail-safe clasps!

Reviews and Ratings

The Answer to a Persistant Storage Problem!

This is exactly what I needed! I really didn't have an efficient method of storing my fingertip daubers before, and, as a result, I've wasted and/or lost a lot of them. This box puts an end to the waste and gives me the storage solution that I've been looking for. I've already purchased four of these and will buy more in the future as my ink pad and chalk palette collections continue to expand.

Now, instead of having them all over the place in unsightly sandwich bags, all of my sponge daubers are labeled and stored alphabetically and by medium (two boxes for ink and two for chalk). Everything is neat and clean, and the diminutive size of the box makes it very easy to take my daubers with me to crops. And it's impossible for the box to open by accident because there are two snug, fail-safe sliding locks on it!

Break Easily

I ordered three of these...two arrived fine, one was cracked in shipping. I actually ordered one extra just because I had read about this problem on other reviews. I don't really need the third one, and figured I could give it as a gift or use it for portable storage, where it will likely get cracked later, anyway.

Other than being fragile, the box is great for organizing your daubers. It does the job it's intended to do, and it is pretty much exactly as pictured, so that's why I'm giving it 5 stars.

One problem you might have is that the daubers are stored dirty side up, so you might get inky fingers pulling one out if it was used recently. Would have been better if it had a foam insert with holes where the daubers fit in snugly, with the sponge part down, and enough of the "handle" part showing enough to allow for labeling of the color name.

Sponge Dauber Storage Box

This case exceeded my expectations in quality for the price I paid for it! The acrylic is crystal clear, and thick, not flimsy like other cases I have seen at craft stores. The back hinges are well constructed, with a metal pin through the center for stability, and the front latches slide easily, but with a snug fit so the lid won't pop open. The inner dividers are shallow enough to be able to grab the dauber you want easily, and the daubers sit with enough clearance in the case that you could add a piece of paper to the inside lid with a "map" to list which dauber has which color ink on them. (If you do choose to make a color coded list for the lid, I would still recommend adding a piece of window plastic over the list to help keep it clean and ink free)

Perfect Dauber Storage Box

I started with an Altoid box as a tray and quickly ran out of space. I looked at Containers and all the hobby stores. No products out there were the right fit. I remember seeing this box at a rubber stamp convention and was so glad to find it again and at a great sale price. I was shocked and very pleased to find them on my porch within 2 days of the order! The boxes arrived in excellent condition, the plastic was better quality than expected based on some of the reviews. Locking devices are a great feature and the download chart is very helpful. It's a nice compact size with enough space between each dauber and shallow enough to be able to retrieve the dauber easily. I love love this container and wished I ordered more even though I don't need them yet. Thank you!

Dauber case

I edge/distress almost everything in my scrapbooks, so I go through a LOT of daubers. These cases are great! I've purchased several for myself and several more as gifts. I am particularly fond of the slide lock, which keeps the top of the case locked in case it gets knocked over - everything stays in place and the colors don't rub into each other. I used a template to stamp the dauber colors on a grid so I can quickly find the color I want. See sample at www.LaurasCropCircles.com (look under My Scrap Room).

It took me a while to find it, too!Here is the link: http://store.scrapbook.com/gb-gbdb.htmlIf you go to the Sponge Dauber Storage Box page, it is at the end of the product description before the video.Hope you find it!Nancy

Has anyone ever used the container and put the daubers in with the sponge side down, so that you can just put your finger in the hole right away or at least not get your fingers all inky? Just wondering if there was any problems with it before I start using it that way

That would work great....just remember there will most likely be a bit of a mess in the little cube that might be hard to clean.

I am looking to purchase the sponge daubers storage box with 40 daubers. You description says 40 daubers are included but the video says it only comes with one dauber. Would you clarify for me so I can decide if I want it. Thank you, Becky Rogers

This product will contain 40 daubers. The video is referring to the dauber case by itself that used to come with one dauber. If purchased separately the case now comes without any daubers.

What is the difference between the sponge dauber storage box worth $29.99 on sale and the one that is $7.99? Thanks.

The one on sale for $29.99 has 40 daubers with it and the one for $7.99 is just the box, no daubers.

When using daubers, is it necessary to clean after each use if you only plan on using that dauber for a specific color?

not at all - Better not to clean and let them "season". The more you use the easier it is to blend the colors.

No, there are no labels included. I use my label maker to make labels for my daubers.
